Hi folks, been a while since I’ve been on, been running about like a madman trying to get as much work done as possible in the hope that I might eventually get a decision on which surgery option I might be suitable for & if they would even carry it out...being self employed with two young kids I had to make sure there a little something in the kitty if I did get a date.
After months of playing phone tennis with my consultant I finally get a call today to let me know that I’m not suitable for endobronchial valves, however they have decided that a bullectomy is the best course of action & she has put me forward to the team of surgeons for a date to get this carried out. A part of me is relieved that I now have a decision and an option there to help my health improve, however there’s part of me that’s letting my emotions run away with themselves!
Has anyone had this procedure? What’s recovery time like? How long were you laid up for?
Cheers all
